Market Bosworth
Monday 28th July
It rained a little overnight. We were woken by cars pipping their horns as they passed over Bridge 30. A few hire craft went by as we took breakfast.
At 12.20 we arrived at Bosworth Wharf. Walked up the hill into town, staying in the shade of the trees to keep cool. Had a drink at a pub, and were surrounded by small children who asked us questions about our brown Dalmatian. They were on a summer activities scheme and were off to do swimming and water pistoling in the afternoon. Despite a sign saying the pub did food until 2 pm, the landlord said they weren’t serving anymore.
There was a chip shop next door with a rather original name. See photo.

There were other places to eat, but we decided on eating on board. Made a risotto with our own broad beans and onions and sat out on the bank to eat it. It was 29 degrees celcuis in the galley.
5.15 pm we set off again towards the terminus. A wind arose and it blew us into the the arch of Bridge 49. Bent the frame and cracked the perspex of the side window panel - not for the first time. We will need to mend it when we get home.
At 7.15 we moored in a quiet spot just after Pare’s Bridge, where a railway used to cross. Wide towpath. We walked down to the Globe to eat but they didn’t do food on Mondays! Third time in two days that we have been foiled in our plan to eat out!
Got out chairs and table and had a BBQ again. Very tranquil evening.
